10.01.07 TEACHER LAWSUIT UPDATE |
Our
lawsuit against the Medford school district has attracted an
amazing amount of attention and an amazingly generous response
by supporters of the Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation.
We have received help from people all across the country and
we are humbled and grateful for your kindness and willingness
to contribute.
We have had assistance from many long time supporters, and many
new friends as well. It would be impossible to overestimate
how much you all have done. And all your help came without OFEF
once sending out a press release or seeking any publicity on
this case. Although we have responded to countless media inquiries,
we never sought to exploit the media circus this case has become.
But a few press releases can go a long way. We have heard from
many who were asking about a press
release sent out by Second Amendment Foundation announcing
their support for the teacher's lawsuit. Invariably we have
been asked why your efforts as the supporters of OFEF were ignored
in the release. We have no answer to that question. OFEF has
already paid several thousand dollars in legal fees and is committed
to covering all the expenses, and that would be impossible without
the generosity of people like you. Your early commitment should
not be ignored. But that one press release got SAF tremendous
publicity and apparently, that was the point. Their total contribution
to the case was $500.
Currently, the school district has filed a motion to dismiss
our case and has demanded that the teacher's name be made public.
Numerous reporters have also threatened to publicize her name.
She has informed us that if she is exposed, she will continue
to fight. We are grateful for her courage.
To hear an interview and update on the case, which is due to
be heard in court on Oct 11th, please go to the archives of
Gun Talk to hear Sunday's
show, with OFEF's Kevin Starrett as guest. |
